UKSatellitehelp is migrating to a new server. For this reason, there will be a small disruption to the service, with most articles not being accessible. But by the end of this week, Sunday, 05th August 2007, everything should be up and running.

Sorry for any inconvienence.

Sky is dropping the  Sky+ £10 charge for all Sky digital subscribers from 1st July. This is great news for all basic package subscribers (sports and movies as well as HD subscribers had the charge waived a long
time ago).

All subscribers will be notified by letter and the charge will be automatically dropped from the bill. The £10 charge for multi-room will be unaffected.

From 1st July, new subscribers can get a Sky+ box for £99 with a £30 installation charge. More on Sky.com.

Sky has an offer currently (January/February 2007) which presumably targets potential Freesat viewers. For £10 a month you get all the Freesat channels but on top of that you can choose two mixes plus a free digibox and installation. It's a 12 months contract so in total you pay £120 but you need to remember to cancel 30 days before it finishes. Then it will automatically be converted to Freesat only.

If you were to get Freesat only from www.freesatfromsky.com you would pay £150 for the card, installation and digibox. So, the deal from Sky is one not to miss…
